Typical range: $750 to $1,400
How it works: typical national figures of about $3.75 to $7 per square foot for clean water, $4.50 to $8.50 for gray water and $7 to $13 for black water, multiplied by 1.25 to 1.7 for drywall, ceilings, hardwood or finished basements and by 1.25 when the water sat for more than two days, with a small-job minimum. Pipe repair and rebuild are not included. Estimate only, not a quote.

What a Slab Burst Cleanup Costs, Typically
Burst pipe under slab cleanup typically runs about $2,000 to $12,000 to extract water, remove wet flooring and dry a single-family house. Short leaks cost less, while leaks that ran for weeks cost more, and what sits on top of the slab sets much of the total.
- Contained leak, one room: $1,500 to $4,500. A pipe that broke beside a hard floor and was caught fast: extraction, equipment and about a week of drying.
- Several rooms, walls opened low: $4,500 to $12,000. Carpet, pad and baseboards come out, and the drying team dries wall bases and the slab.
- Long-running or whole-floor loss: $12,000 to $30,000. A leak that ran for weeks soaked hardwood, cabinets and the concrete under them.
- Cost per square foot, by water type: $3 to $7. Clean Category 1 water prices at the bottom of that range, and Category 3 sewage-type water prices at the top.
What changes the price
- Flooring on the slab: carpet dries easier than glued hardwood or laminate.
- How long it ran: a pipe caught in hours is a smaller job than one found after a month.
- Reach: water that climbed into walls and cabinets adds tear-out and equipment.
- Slab dry time: thick or long-soaked concrete means more days of machines on site.
